Fear of Re-Injury may slow hand recovery after surgery
NCT ID NCT07668544
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 100 adults who had surgery for hand or forearm injuries to see if fear of movement (kinesiophobia) affects how well they recover. Participants fill out questionnaires and take hand function tests over 12 weeks. The goal is to understand if early fear levels can predict who might have a harder time healing, so doctors can offer better support.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If this study finds a link between fear of movement and poor recovery, it could lead to new rehab programs that address both mental and physical aspects of hand injury healing.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks for associations, so it cannot prove that fear causes worse outcomes. The results may not apply to all hand injuries.
